Bulimba creek comprises of 122 km2 and is located in the eastern and south-eastern areas of Brisbane. The catchment area extends from “southern suburbs of Kuraby and Runcorn to Hemmant and Murarrie in the north” (Bulimba creek catchment, 2015). It contains seven freshwater swamplands and ten significant riparian remnants. Bulimba creek generally flows northwards into the Brisbane River (refer to the map) and is an example of a riparian zone, which by definition is “the interface between land and…

Crudas Disasrous”is an oil tanker which has run aground and is leaking at a rate of 15 tonnes of oil per day. The oil is heading south with a strong current heading towards the bottom of Stradbroke Island from just north of Amity point and within 72 hours it will have reached the southern side of the islands ecosystems. North Stradbroke Island is made up of 18 regional ecosystems including; mudflats, mangroves, rocky shores and tidal flats, which is also located in Morton Bay just off the coast…

Mulloon catchment and Mulloon institution to us. Then we started our research with Forest LFA, including landscape organization assessment (LOA) and soil surface assessment (SSA). Firstly, we set up a 50m transect running directly up and down the slope and mapped patches and interpatches on this transect. We regarded the place where resources could be accumulated as patches, like grass, shrubs, logs or trees. Then we made soil surface assessment by choosing 3 points in each patch type randomly…

performed Identify some adaptations of living things to factors in their environment Identify and describe in detail adaptation of a plant and an animal from the local ecosystem Analyse trends in a plant population using a transect Identify examples of allelopathy, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism in an ecosystem and the role of organisms in each type of relationship Identify the impact of humans on the ecosystems studied {draw:frame}…

Willow Springs Park runs through the Cherry Hill fault zone and has a history of artesian flowing springs. This paired with 90 years of oil production, a new urban farm, and Coastal Sage Scrub (CSS) community makes the park a uniquely diverse environment. The purpose of conducting research at Willow Springs Park is to monitor the growth of CSS, which consists of low-growing shrubs, many of which are summer deciduous, with some succulents and long-lived grasses, sages, buckwheats, etc. CSS…

extremity prostheses are also used in a multitude of different levels of amputation, such as a hip, knee, foot, or toe. These prosthetic devices are divided into two main subcategories which are titled trans-tibia and trans-femoral. Any amputation that transects the femur bone or birth defect that causes femoral deficiency is in need of a trans-femoral prosthesis, which is an artificial limb…

Abstract Drought causes hydraulic failure in trees. Hydraulic failure is one of the main cause of mortality that trees succumb to. Tree die off due to drought conditions has been high in the last two decades. Hydraulic Failure goes hand and hand with two other concepts: carbon starvation and cavitation, which also cause tree mortality. These concepts occur when a tree is not able to transport enough water from the soil to support itself. Some species of trees are more susceptible to hydraulic…

The field team, visit Escudo twice a year to monitor the pygmy sloth population. Transects are walked through the mangroves and forest, where the group record the number of sloths and other important data on their activity and habitat use. They also put radio collars and GPS backpacks on the sloths to help find out how large an area each…

settling height would be calibrated to grass biomass at sites within the plots (grass biomass in g/m2) and diversity within these quadrats would be recorded (Waldrum et al. 2008). To measure the diversity of mesoherbivore, dung matter per 60m by 5m transects would be assessed around water holes as this would be the area holding the highest concentration of these animals, this also allows for a prediction to the amount of mulch being deposited. The soil nutrient content would be assessed using…

in different ways. It is easy at times to just ignore these difficulties. However in order to really overcome an obstacle, one has to face and deal with it. Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese is the story of Saul Indian Horse, an Ojibway whose life transects the deep valleys of residential schools and substance abuse as well as the highest peak of minor-league hockey. Saul uses hockey as a way of escaping his past traumatic experiences as a child and with residential schools, and after he stops…
